per Rossow:
When Jerry Kill surprisingly removed freshman quarterback Demry Croft’s redshirt in the second half of the Gophers’ loss to Northwestern last fall, it was expected that Croft would challenge Mitch Leidner for the starting job.
That wasn’t the case during the second half of last season. It certainly won’t be the case in 2016, either.
Junior Conor Rhoda remains the backup quarterback entering Week 3. Tracy Claeys and the Gophers staff need to correct Kill’s mistake and allow Croft to sit out the 2016 season to get his year of eligibility back.
For the long-term health of the program, the Gophers’ brass shouldn’t stop there. They should also ensure freshman Seth Green’s redshirt isn’t burned in a knee-jerk decision — like the one made regarding Croft’s eligibility in Evanston last September.
